But if I go, I\n             will send him to you.  (ESV)\n\n        Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, ``Are you a king?''  ``Jesus\n   answered, `My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of\n   this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might\n   not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the\n   world.'''&#91;1] This spiritual kingdom is the Church, those who\n   believe and trust that Jesus suffered, died, and rose again to\n   pay the price of their sin.  Although Jesus would no longer be\n   visible to the Church, He made a promise to the disciples.\n        Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your\n        advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the\n        Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send\n        him to you.\n\n\n        Once Jesus had accomplished His mission of paying the price\n   for all sins, once He gave His life for the salvation of all\n   people, the Holy Spirit caused that message of hope to be spread\n   throughout the world.  For forty days after Easter, Jesus proved\n   to His disciples and many other witnesses that the bonds of death\n   are broken, the tomb is empty.\n\n        The Kingdom of God is not found in the visible things of\n   this world.  The Kingdom of God is the truth that the Father sent\n   His only-begotten Son to redeem and deliver us from the power of\n   the devil.  He governs us as a King of Righteousness, life, and\n   salvation against sin, death, and an evil conscience.\n\n        It is the work of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, to call,\n   gather, and enlighten the Church with the truth of God's grace,\n   love, and mercy.\n\n        May our Lord grant us the faith to recognize Jesus as the\n   Lord of the Church, the one who has reconciled us to God the\n   Father.  Amen.\n   ____________________\n\n   1.
